You've conquered what you truly desire by denying it. The war between the seen and the non seen either heals you completely or drives you mad - like how important the moon is to us within a shift, its wild.

For Christmas, my grandmother decided to pass on guns that belonged to my grandfather to us, grandkids. We found this gun. He carefully sewed together this case for a very small gun. It was maybe 4 inches long. He carefully handled things like that as much as he served others, especially his beautiful wife. He found the Truth and lived it to the fullest. It now has been almost four years since he died and I understand so much more about the fight for my faith in Jesus.

My Brothers

Ryan and a friend since they were babies. They both had the same childhood, parents, church, school, everything. This house is where Jeff lived all his life and it was pretty much our second home.

Windows of Walgreens in Reno, NV.

This is Dipper, Jerod's new pup.

I was working out in Adin, CA and passed this. I thought it was beautiful.

In awe of a masterpiece.

We live in a very interesting time and I am so glad I was born in this generation.

Sarah Palin

It was amazing meeting Sarah Palin in Reno, NV! She is an amazing woman. Because I am Deaf you would think I am a democrat but I am not. I believe that the policies of this woman are important. The biggest reason is because she is a God-fearing leader. She is solid with her beliefs and knows how important it is to keep the nation under God or the nation will be like Rome - in ruins. It was a little hard for me to support a republican because I wanted to have joy in campaigning and supporting a McCain/Palin's victory without being concerned with the cost of my power as a Deaf American. I do not mean I am adopting the middle name, "Protest," but the mutual power that hearing Americans freely posses in this land of freedom. I had to make my priorities be electing a God-fearing leader instead of a leader who may support my Deaf power or may not! First and foremost in my selection must be God-fearing. Everything else will fall into place. This morning, I had the privilege to attend this "Pit bull Palin Rally" in Reno and meet her and her beautiful daughter, Piper. Darla, Carol and I tried to teach Piper how to sign, "ILY," of course, with her mighty mother's help. Palin also explained to her daughter that we were deaf and she would need to speak to us throught american sign language. We were not sure if it was a new thing for them. Obviously, it does not matter because there is a picture of her at the next rally (few hours later) in Henderson, NV, she proudly presented that Deaf - American Sign Language well known logo, "ILY". GO PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!

What was long asleep emerged, becoming vigilant, as the holy fire spoke. It was time. Time to reorganize, time to look away, time to reconsider, time to realize, time to surrender, time to change. David was a shepherd but turned into a great hero from a single pebble-throw. A once small town citizen with humbling shadow of grand changes came, not as a gentle dove, but fierce as a lion, wild in truth. Like the wise Queen Esther, she faithfully listened, assuring the unyielding commitment to taking action. Prepared, she humbled and humbled many of us with the ingenuous truth, balanced in her as she trusted in the only Hope for the distracted mankind. The Holy Spirit shook us apart through this once unnoticed woman from the wild. Like John the Baptist, she finished her work with courage and grace as she knew nothing surprises her All-Knowing God. Little uncertainties and grief only reveal how human she is like us all. She fought the good fight, inspiring many with endless hope. Thank you with all of my heart, Ali

what made America so great?

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. --Hebrews 9:27 It was the belief in the accountability of man to his maker that made America a great nation.

Dunes

I didn't realize how much I needed to see the ocean. The Ocean has such a powerful infulence on me. One night, Darla and I were standing on a cliff watching the waters. Its roaring waves shining by the moon, and I was far up high on a cliff - a sight I will never forget. The next day, we went to Dunes City, Oregon. I decided to go down 1/2 mile on a trail that brought me to this.
